My new football life

My first season at Le Havre AC ended with a 7th place and me getting nominated as manager of the season. Probably I wont get the title but nice to at all getting nominated for it. World Cup 2026 from Mexico coming up.

World Champions 2026 in Mexico became Brazil after beating England in the final,third place Argentina got,and 4th was Columbia. The Netherlands didn't qualify through from the group stage

19th of July 2026 I decided to say yes to ano offer from the dutch FA to take over after Foeke Booy who got sacked after World Cup 2026 after just under 4 years as national manager.

Decided to decline offers from Switzerland,,Ivory Coast and Ghana

My 2nd season in Le Havre came to a lousy start,7 matches played and still only one point which were taken against Angers in the opening match of the season. Not that my life as dutch national manager started much better,lost in nations league against England and France.

After 11 matches and only 2 points taken I were called to a board meeting and result was that I got sacked from Le Havre

22th of November 2026 I took over as manager of Glasgow Rangers and same day I had my first match as manager and won 2-1 against Dundee United after a penalty goal by Andre Schurrle and a late goal by Daniel Kjärsgaard. Nice start at Glasgow Rangers

The Euro 2028 qualification draw for my Netherlands ended with Azerbajdzjan,Iceland,Malta,Austria,Sweden. Starts at Friends Arena against Sweden

Andre Schürrle still a good player at 36 years of age,8 goals within 16 matches played. since he came to Glasgow Rangers from Lille for free.but last season in Lille he scored only 9 goals within 32 matches. So looks like Andre Schürrle found heaven in Scotland

Now Schürrle injuried for 3 weeks : Lucky enough I bought Gaetan Laborde from Laval for 5 millions and he joined Glasgow Rangers 1st of January 2027 so I have a squad which are not depending too much on one setup but I can rotate the players a bit around as I feel needed for the match ahead. When I took over at Glasgow they were number 8 in the Scottish Premiership,now number 4. None lost match since I took over,2 draws or so though. The two upcoming matches are against Motherwell and Celtic.

At the final of the scottish season in late may 2027 I happily qualified Glasgow Rangers for Europa League and lost the final in the scottish cup on penalties to St.Johnstone. Also were choosen as manager of the year by the scottish sportjournalists and came 2nd in the players vote on manager of the year. Quite nice first season in Scotland

In Europa League the qualifying rounds went 5-2 after 2 matches against FC Vaduz,then a two match win by 7-0 against Zimbru,then in 3rd qualifying leg it was Atromitos who were beaten 3-2 over 2 matches. The plasyoff round before the group stage became a very big drama,lost 2-0 against FC Metz at Ilbrox and at the 90 minutes in Metz it was 2-2 all over,which sent the match into extra time where Gaetan Laborde(who I first time got to OHL) became the big hero. and gave the win on away goal rule.

In Group A of Europa League 2027/2028 I were drawn into group with Olympicos,PSV and IFK Göteborg. First match at home against IFK Göteborg.

I was able to qualify for Euro 2028 after a final win against Iceland and Sweden giving a draw by 3-3 against Austria. Qualified for Euro 2028 in England are :

Romania
Sweden
Netherlands
Denmark

Ended at number 5 in my 2nd season in Glasgow Rangers and now only 2-3 months left of contract.

England won Euro 2028 at home and I got sacked as dutch national manager but now took over as Swedish national manager after Magnus Haglund

My third season at Glasgow Rangers has come off to a perfect start,after the first 10 matches we are at 2nd spot just after our local rivals from Celtic and partly due to lost first Old Firm meet in my third season by 3-2. Andre Schurrle and Gaetan Laborde to resign after this season but I bought a 25 year old left wing midfielder Craig Pearson from Middelsborough. Within his first 10 matches at Rangers he has scored 4 goals and assisted to 2 and also got man of the match award once already. So I think I already have my Schurrle replacement ready.

Signed a new 3 year contract with Rangers by the way so unless something happens in the meantime I will stay in Rangers till 2031.

Found my new star striker in 20 year old Mark Duncan who are a product of Rangers,16 matches in 2028/2029 season already and 12 goals and at the moment third in the best goalscorer league.

Looks like third season will be my big success season,after 26 matches played in season Rangers are at number 2 in the league,33 matches for each team in the main league and then championship playoff between the top 6,so very good chances of becoming scottish champion or at least qualify for Champions League

Now the first 33 matches played in my third season as manager of Glasgow Rangers and I lead the league at that point 2 points ahead of Celtic and Rangers have already qualified for European cups as Hiberian in spot number 5 are almost 20 points behind and there is only 5 matches in the playoff for the championship,and I would say I have good chances of becoming scottish champion.

My matches for the title will be starting against Dundee Utd,Hiberian,Celtic,S:t Mirren and finishes off against Aberdeen. S:t Mirren in third are 11 points behind before the championship series so I would say the only match of real importance for me is the derby against Celtic.


My 20 year striker Mark Duncan now done 21 goals in the league this season,quite good I would say for only being 20 years old.

The drama in Scottish Premiership ended with Celtic and Rangers on same points but with Celtic on better goaldifference. For European cups Celtic and Rangers qualified for Champions League and S:t Mirren and Dundee Utd got the Europa League spots

8th of October 2029 I decided to sign a contract with Fiorentina in Serie A instead which some of the fans was not happy about at Rangers. But in Fiorentina I took over after Pep Guardiola

When I took over at Fiorentina they were at number 11,now with 10 matches or so left they gone up to number 3 and 4 in Serie A:

The first season as manager of Fiorentina is over,was quite succesful,came to quarterfinal in Europa League and got sent out on away goals against Zurich and ended 3rd in Serie A.

After the World Cup 2030 in Italy who England with manager Simon Grayson won I decided to replace the job as national manager of Sweden with the one in Italy,had possabiliy to take over in Spain or Brazil as well but decided to the job in Italy.

Champions League draw 2030/2031 for Fiorentina ended up with Chelsea,Sporting Lissabon and Maccabi Tel Aviv.The irony of it all is that I have just days ago sold Olivier Merino for 190 million swedish crowns to Chelsea. Ah well,I hope Pablo Aranburu which I bought for 185 million swedish crowns from Real Madrid will do it nice for Fiorentina in the upcoming season which will in Italy start against Varese and end against Roma.

First Champions League match will be at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea 14th of September 2030,then home against Maccabi Tel Aviv 2nd of October and home against Sporting Lissabon the 23rd of October,5th of November away against Sporting Lissabon,27th of November at home against Chelsea and away against Maccabi Tel Aviv 10th of December.

Came off to a perfect start in Champions League. Won at the Zola Park built in 2020 in London 7-0 against Chelsea and won 8-0 at home against Maccabi Tel Aviv. 15-0 after 2 Champions League matches

At league match 24 or so in my 2nd season at Fiorentina I am now number 2 in Serie A. Also sent Porto out of Champions League after first losing 2-0 away and winning 3-0 at home and thereby qualified for quarterfinal against Real Madrid. Will be special for Pablo Aranburu who I bought from Real Madrid for 185 million swedish crowns just before this season.

Hernan Gonzalez being my big striker scored last season 24 goals in the Serie A after the series were over,now with 9 matches left he scored 27 goals already and leads the goalscorer league

Now secured that 2031/2032 season will also be Champions League for my Fiorentina. Hernan Gonzales has broken the goalscorer record both in Serie A and in Fiorentina and Rancharia has broken the record for most assists . And approaching a total of 100 goals in the league my team is . A goal difference of about 40 goals between scored and behind my goalkeeper
